Abstract:

An original theoretical model for packing particles that are not uniform in either size or shape is presented in this paper. A solution was obtained for the packing density and contact strength in multi-component mediums, and nomograms were constructed from the theoretical solutions. A method was developed for theoretically determining the density of soils and granulated materials. A practical method for determining the type of roller to be used for packing is also proposed. The use of the theoretical solutions that were obtained has allowed local low-strength materials to be widely used in the construction of local roads in the USSR, which substantially reduces the cost of road construction.
